Nick recently revealed he is doing everything he can to get Vanessa pregnant.
The former 98 Degrees singer - who was previously married to Jessica Simpson - said: "I'm doing everything I can. Trust me, it would make me very happy. Family is very important. It's very important to us, and I'm sure that will be around the corner."
